At last night's opera intermission, some guy came up to me and asked if I'd be interested in learning more about new tobacco products such as 'smokeless tobacco'. My rule is that if it's not heroin, I ain't buying.

I thought smokeless tobacco was the stuff you chew then spit into a can or the floor of a dugout on a baseball field. WAs this guy talking that stuff? Or was he talking about a cigarette that doesn't emit smoke?

Either case, would be cool to have an opera house filled with patrons with a big chaw sticking out of one side of their jaws, spitting off the balcony between arias. Maybe could do it for Puccini's Girl of the Golden West.
